What I get upto when not fishing!

Other than the obvious!

I've just started posting on this forum and have had a couple of requests to show some photos of the lures and things I build when im not fishing, so here you go...

Excellent work.

now your talking

Lure porn. I'm in heaven

can we hide this thread from woody, he's got a kid on the way

This isn't the thread for anyone easily mislead,or just starting up in the world of lure angling.
Plenty above I'd love to have in my collection that's for sure.

Thanks, brought back some memories actually of last year catching on them

Are you still just making small amounts for yourself,or have you been inundated with orders from people/friends?

Thanks again

Tim, I tend to make what i'm fishing with at the time, so for instance in summer i make more ultralights as i like to have multi species river sessions, I tend to just make 3 of everything, keep one for myself and sell the other 2 to fund buying other fishing gear. Not been selling allot laterly as i've been getting into fly fishing for pike so have been making myself flies.

You may have already seen this then perhaps,if not, ho lee sheet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKRX6Oc5MZk

Been thinking of getting into pike fly action for a few years,but never taken the plunge. More gear to buy

Yep but even had one take a jointed lure of about same size!

Not seen the whole thing but have watched clips, if you do get round to it give it a go, its brilliaint! Just watch where your fishing buddies are before back casting!

Thats where my ear went

So thats where that diving vane came from!

The finish is fantastic Matty, I have seen a few of your lures now and they all look very good fish catchers, I will have to have one...whats the damage

Really are unreal. Phil Heaton had one of the 5/6" on up Thrybergh and had a trout lol. Looked great in the water. Welcome to the forum mate
